Honeywell BW MicroClip XL Multi-Gas Detector

The Honeywell BW MicroClip XL multi-gas detector is available with up to 4 different gas sensors. Multiple sensor combinations are available for combustible gases, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide. The MicroClip XL features an extended battery life of 18 hours. IntelliFlash which provides continuous visual confirmation of detector operation and compliance. Each unit is available in yellow or black, with many optional accessories. The Micro Clip XL is fully compatible with BW’s MicroDock II automatic test and calibration system.

Key Features:

• Sporting four gas sensors for detecting hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O2) and the LEL of a variety of dangerously combustible/flammable gases, the GasAlert Max XT II portable detector also features an internal pump for remote sampling.
• It comes calibrated with a fully-charged battery, and is ready to use right out of the box.
• The GasAlert Max XT II is a handheld gas detector which displays levels of all four gases on its bright, backlit LCD screen (which also shows you battery levels and pump activity). It allows you to clearly monitor your environment no matter how dark and dingy your confined space may be.
• A selection of alerts and alarms keep the worker aware of any dangerous levels as the gas analyzer constantly monitors the environment. Bright alarm LED lights, vibration options, and a 95dB alarm ensure you get the message.
• The GasAlert Max XT II also has an optional confidence beep, which tells you the device is operating and fully functional.
• Alerts for the GasAlert Max XT II are available for Short Term Exposure Limits (STEL) (5-15 minutes), Long Term Exposure Limits (LTW; ~8 hours) as well as high/low levels for each gas.
• Designed to be solid and durable, the GasAlert Max multi-gas detection unit has concussion-proof housing, as well as an IP66/67 rating for water-resistance, meaning your unit should continue working well throughout its lifetime.
• The internal sample draw pump is easy to maintain, with both moisture and particle filters protecting it, which are easy to monitor (via a filter window) and change.
• Many folks operating gas monitors work with protective gloves on. BW Honeywell’s entire range of detectors feature simple one button operation: one single large button designed to be operated with a gloved hand, making it particularly easy to train your staff to use this portable gas detector.

The GasAlert Max XT II is compatible with the IntelliDoX for Gas Alert Max XT II DX-MAXXT for recording your readings throughout a shift, for charging the kit, and for altering settings for alarms and tolerance levels should your company require it (via the IR Data Link Kit found in the Deluxe Confined Accessory Kit). Each GasAlert Max XT II unit comes individually packaged in a cardboard box that includes the 120V AC battery charger, operator’s manual, CD-rom owner’s manual, 5 spare moisture filters and 5 particulate filters, metallic scintered particulate filter (for end of sampling hose) and 2 lengths of (3 ft. length and a 10 ft. length) clear PVC tubing with connectors, double-ended screwdriver and factory calibration certificate.

Note: Calibration gas may be ordered separately. Due to HazMat regulations, calibration gas takes between 5-7 days to ship, and will not arrive at the same time as the monitor.

Remember to calibrate every six months and regularly perform bump tests.

1. What is the BW MicroClip XL Gas Detector designed for? The MicroClip XL is a multi-gas detector designed to simultaneously detect up to four gases, including oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and combustible gases (LEL). It is ideal for industries such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, and confined space operations, where multi-gas exposure is a common risk.
2. How long does the MicroClip XL operate continuously? The MicroClip XL offers up to 18 hours of continuous operation on a full charge in typical environments. This long battery life makes it suitable for companies requiring workers to have reliable, all-day protection during long shifts or while working in remote locations.
3. How does the MicroClip XL alert users to dangerous gas levels? The device has audible, visual, and vibrating alarms that activate when gas concentrations reach dangerous levels. This multi-mode alert system ensures that users are aware of hazardous situations even in noisy environments like oil rigs or construction sites. For companies, this improves worker safety by providing immediate, unmistakable notifications.
4. Is the MicroClip XL easy to use and deploy? Yes, the MicroClip XL is designed for simplicity with a one-button operation. This makes it easy to use and minimizes the training required, allowing companies to quickly integrate it into their safety programs. The ease of use also reduces the potential for operational errors in high-stress environments.
5. What gases can the MicroClip XL detect? The MicroClip XL can detect up to four gases: oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and combustible gases (measured as %LEL). This versatility makes it a great solution for companies that need to monitor multiple hazards in real-time, such as oil refineries, confined spaces, and chemical plants.
6. What certifications does the MicroClip XL have? The MicroClip XL is certified with ATEX, IECEx, and CSA standards, ensuring it is safe for use in hazardous and explosive environments. These certifications are essential for companies operating in high-risk industries such as oil and gas or mining, where safety compliance is critical.
7. How does the MicroClip XL handle harsh environmental conditions? The MicroClip XL is designed to work in extreme conditions, with an operating range of -20°C to +50°C. It is also IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, ensuring reliable operation in challenging environments such as offshore platforms or dusty construction sites. For companies, this durability means fewer replacements and better reliability in tough environments.
8. Does the MicroClip XL require regular calibration or maintenance? The MicroClip XL requires calibration every 6 months for optimal performance. While it does require some maintenance, companies can benefit from the IntelliFlash™ feature, which provides a visual indication of the device’s operational status, making it easy to see if calibration or maintenance is needed without taking the unit offline.
9. What training is required to use the MicroClip XL effectively? Minimal training is required due to its one-button design, but companies should provide workers with basic gas detection training, including how to respond to alarms and recognize gas hazards. Regular refresher training will ensure that employees remain confident in using the device and reacting promptly to dangerous conditions.
10. How cost-effective is the MicroClip XL for large-scale deployments? The MicroClip XL is highly cost-effective for large-scale deployments due to its multi-gas detection capabilities, long battery life, and rugged design. For companies looking to provide widespread gas detection across multiple worksites, the device’s reliability and minimal downtime can help reduce overall operational costs.
